Analyses mid-twentieth century British spy thrillers as resistance to political oppressionEspionage and Exile demonstrates that from the 1930s through the Cold War British writers Eric Ambler, Helen MacInnes, John le Carr Pamela Frankau and filmmaker Leslie Howard combine propaganda and popular entertainment to call for resistance to political oppression. Their spy fictions deploy themes of deception and betrayal to warn audiences of the consequences of Nazi Germany's conquests and later, the fusion of Fascist and Communist oppression. With politically charged suspense and compelling plots and characters, these writers challenge distinctions between villain and victim and exile and belonging by dramatising relationships between stateless refugees, British agents, and most dramatically, between the ethics of espionage and responses to international crisis.Key FeaturesThe first narrative analysis of mid-twentieth century British spy thrillers demonstrating their critiques of political responses to the dangers of Fascism, Nazism, and CommunismCombines research in history and political theory with literary and film analysisAdds interpretive complexity to understanding the political content of modern cultural productionOriginal close readings of the fiction of Eric Ambler, John Le Carr and British women spy thriller writers of World War II and the Cold War, including Helen MacInnes, Ann Bridge, and Pamela Frankau as well as the wartime radio broadcasts and films of Leslie Howard

In The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film (2005), scholar Drewey Wayne Gunn examined the history of gay detectives beginning with the first recognized gay novel, The Heart in Exile, which appeared in 1953. In the years since the original edition's publication, hundreds of novels and short stories in this sub-genre have been produced, and Gunn has unearthed many additional representations previously unrecorded. In this new edition, Gunn provides an overview of milestones in the development of gay detectives over the last several decades. Also included in this volume is an annotated list of novels, short stories, plays, graphic novels, comic strips, films, and television series with gay detectives, gay sleuths of secondary importance, and non-sleuthing gay policemen. The most complete listing available--including the only listing of early gay pulp novels, present-day male-to-male romances, and erotic films--this new edition brings the work up to date with publications missed in the first edition, particularly cross-genre mysteries, early pulps, and some hard-to-find volumes. The Gay Male Sleuth in Print and Film: A History and Annotated Bibliography lists all printed works in English (including translations) presently known to include gay detectives (such as amateur sleuths, police detectives, private investigators, and investigative reporters), from the 1929 play Rope until the present day. It includes all films in English, subtitled or dubbed, from the screen version of Rope in 1948 and the launch of the independent film Spy on the Fly in 1966 through the end of 2011. Complete with two appendices--a bibliography of sources and a list of Lambda Literary Awards--and indexes of titles, detectives, and actors, this extensively revised and updated reference will prove invaluable to mystery collectors, researchers, aficionados of the subgenre, and those devoted to GLBTQ studies.

This handbook explores a diverse range of artistic and cultural responses to modern conflict, from Mons in the First World War to Kabul in the twenty-first century. With over thirty chapters from an international range of contributors, ranging from the UK to the US and Australia, and working across history, art, literature, and media, it offers a significant interdisciplinary contribution to the study of modern war, and our artistic and cultural responses to it. The handbook is divided into three parts. The first part explores how communities and individuals responded to loss and grief by using art and culture to assimilate the experience as an act of survival and resilience. The second part explores how conflict exerts a powerful influence on the expression and formation of both individual, group, racial, cultural and national identities and the role played by art, literature, and education in this process. The third part moves beyond the actual experience of conflict and its connection with issues of identity to explore how individuals and society have made use of art and culture to commemorate the war. In this way, it offers a unique breadth of vision and perspective, to explore how conflicts have been both represented and remembered since the early twentieth century.

BOOK ONE: ROGUE DEMON They say it's better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven... But Enzo’s not so sure anymore. Haunted by the horrors of his fall, Enzo, a demon agent of the Fel, smothers the angst of his impending damnation by indulging in vice with no regard to who it wrecks. But the dreadlord has given him a new assignment: infiltrate the enemy sect of demons known as the Unfallen and recover their captured ally, Lorcan, the alpha of Atro City’s pack. The mission goes according to plan, until he falls in love with someone he should hate. Or at the very least use and destroy. Blindsided by emotions he never thought were possible to feel, Enzo must blend in with his enemies and decide which side of the holy war he’s really on—even though he’s damned no matter what he chooses. With angelic lore inspired by Milton’s Paradise Lost and The Book of Enoch… This magical & macabre urban fantasy features a brooding, BMX-riding antihero who wants nothing to do with the forces of good unless it suits him. ~ BOOK TWO: SELFISH ANGEL Ex-skinhead and drug dealer Hewey Steps puts his sordid past behind him to begin his new life as a magic-wielding agent of the Unfallen. But Lorcan’s Pack wants revenge on his demon partner, Enzo, who still refuses to accept his rulership as archon—since waking the fallen angel’s dormant power could spell disaster for anyone who gets in his way, especially those who dare to threaten the woman he loves. Hewey and Enzo grapple with the vile sins of their past, as an insidious threat lurks in the bustling hallways at Stillwater, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike… And it’s an enemy that cannot be touched. Old habits and prejudices die hard in this heart-stopping addition to the Archon Rising trilogy. Featuring a dynamic cast of morally gray characters, thrilling action, tortured romance, and diabolic scenes reminiscent of the gritty cult-classic American History X… Delve into this horror-fantasy world today! ~ BOOK THREE: BROKEN ARCHON The enemy archon has awakened, and Enzo must take up his crown to put a stop to the looming threat infesting Atro City. But his fiercely loyal partner, Hewey, is preoccupied with his own problems after being reconnected with his troubled high-school sweetheart, as well as the racist Skeads he once fought for. And with Enzo’s wife bucking against the corruptive influence of misused fellcraft and an unlikely paramour, the morally conflicted demon is angrier than ever and more susceptible to the relentless mania induced by the use of his archon magic. Emotionally compelling, with intense gritty action and gorgeously macabre departures into Lovecraftian horror. Complete your journey into this brutal urban fantasy series today!

British films of the 1960s are undervalued. Their search for realism has often been dismissed as drabness and their more frivolous efforts can now appear just empty-headed. Robert Murphy's Sixties British Cinema is the first study to challenge this view. He shows that the realist tradition of the late 50s and early 60s was anything but dreary and depressing, and gave birth to a clutch of films remarkable for their confidence and vitality: Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, A Kind of Loving, and A Taste of Honey are only the better known titles. Sixties British Cinema revalues key genres of the period - horror, crime and comedy - and takes a fresh look at the 'swinging London' films, finding disturbing undertones that reflect the cultural changes of the decade. Now that our cinematic past is constantly recycled on television, Murphy's informative, engaging and perceptive review of these films and their cultural and industrial context offers an invaluable guide to this neglected era of British cinema.
